Visual Art – Toronto
I am an abstract artist who works with acrylic and photography on sculpted canvas. I have studied in Banff School of fine Arts and have a four year diploma in Fine Arts from Ontario College of Art spending my last year of study in Florence, Italy, studying under Tom La Pierre.
I use my photography as one of the media to blend the precision of digital photography with the unpredictability and fluidity of paint. By applying a variety of acrylic techniques to my photographic imagery I combine the best of each medium. By exploring my photographic imagery I isolate the abstract that exists in nature.
I view the shape and texture of the canvas as a catalyst to unlimited creativity. By combining multiple components into one cohesive piece I am able to explore yet another dimension to my art. I am fascinated by how far I can push canvas from a traditional square or rectangle to a new art form.
